MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / May 2004Can't delete custom forms
Using Outlook 2003. I'm trying to delete some custom forms that I made but no longer use. I try to access the form manager: "Tools"->"Options"->"Other" tab"-> "Advanced" button -> "Custom Forms" button I get the following msgbox: "Unable to display the dialog box. No pages in the property sheet due to low memory. Close some windows or programs." I don't have any other windows open and I have plenty of memory. Any ideas on what's wrong and how to get around this would be helpful. Perhaps the published forms are saved on the hard drive and can be deleted from there? Thanks, Tom S.

You do know that Outlook grabs hold of all available memory if you leave it running, and not minimized. You then might not have enough left to get the property sheet. See if it still happens if you minimize it first for a minute or two. But, aside from that, you can get to the forms handler by selecting any folder, right-clicking it, choose Properties, and select the forms tab of the properties panel. Click the manage button and there you are. Hollis D.

Click the manage button and there you are. Thanks for the response. My folder properties dialog doesn't have a forms tab. Only "General", "Homepage" and "Autoarchive". Perhaps I'm missing a setting which allows me access to the forms (although I did create and publish them with the current profile)? Tom S.

You are clicking on the mailbox. What do you get when you click on a folder *WITHIN* the mailbox? Hollis D.

What do > you get when you click on a folder *WITHIN* the mailbox? I'm sorry but I don't have a clue here. I right click on my "Tasks" object and there's a properties menu there. I thought this was a folder. The help file calls it the "Tasks folder". On the "General" page within that properties dialog there is even a button labeled "Folder size" which gives me the size of the collection of items within the "Tasks" object. Within the "Tasks" object there is a listing of task items but right clicking on these gives me no "properties" menu. If I'm not supposed to be right clicking on the "Tasks" object of the "Personal Folders" object, what am I supposed to be looking at. I'm sorry but I'm a little slow and sometimes you need to spell it out. Tom S.

Are you sure you have the Office component Outlook open, and not Outlook Express, which is an entirely different program? Assuming it is the real Outlook from Office, then you should have a panel on the left ladled Folder List. And if you click the folder button down on the bottom, does it then show 'Folder List'? Can you get to that spot. If yes, under the mailbox, you should see a tree of objects with labels like Calendar, Contacts, Drafts, Inbox, Journal, and Tasks, among others. Is it the Tasks folder in that list that you have right-clicked and pulled up the properties panel? In that properties panel, what other tabs are there? Hollis D.

Just in case there's a difference between versions, here's what the About Microsoft Outlook entry in the help menu says about my installation: Microsoft Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5703) Part of Microsoft Outlook Professional Edition 2003 Copyright 1995-2003 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. The tasks folder is, indeed, from the tree widget you describe. There are 3 tabs in the properties dialog: "General", "Home Page" and "AutoArchive". No "Forms" tab. Thanks, again. Tom S.

What services do you have in your mail profile? Is an Exchange service defined there? Did you do a complete install of Outlook? Hollis D.

And don't come back saying my sync folder's properties don't have a folder tab either. Those things are special objects that just look like folders. Hollis D.
